South Africa captain, Heinrich Klaasen, says it is a troublesome one to swallow. Adds he takes full responsibility for the collapse however Miller retaliated well and Shamsi did exceptional with the ball yet it was sufficiently not. States the wet ball is not a pardon, they do practice and they are allowed to change the ball. Notices they got things right in bits and pieces in this game and in the first, so they are moving towards the right direction. States it is a big learning curve for the boys and he is looking forward to the next series. Ends by saying it has been a good tour of Pakistan.
Hasan Ali is up for an interview. He says it was a good comeback game and he is very happy with how he performed. Credits the way Miller played and says he can hurt you anytime however the best thing was they got early wickets and hence, the total was not a very big one. Adds the plan was straightforward, they simply required two boundaries in tough conditions to bowl and they got it.
Earlier in the day, courtesy of one man, Miller, the visitors got to a competitive total. However, it was insufficient as a combined batting effort from the hosts took them over the line despite a four-fer from Shamsi. Overall, one has to say, Pakistan were the better side in this game.
Century for Pakistan!

It however was started by the openers who got Pakistan off to a good start! However, it was after that they started to battle. It was mainly when Shamsi came on who was the destroyer-in-boss. He got convenient wickets which got South Africa back in the game. When Azam was dismissed, South African had a sniff however handy innings from Faheem, Nawaz and Hasan took Pakistan over the line.
A very good chase from Pakistan! 165 was difficult on this wicket yet they have done it pleasantly. Truly, there were stages where it felt that the hosts are probably going to finish second best, yet commitments from the lower-request have taken them over the line.
We are back for the chase! The South African players are out in the center. New opening pair for them as it is Haider Ali and Rizwan. Bjorn Fortuin to start off. Here we go...
Now then! Coming to the chase, Pakistan should bat well. They were poor in the last game with the but have to come firmly here. The wicket is providing some turn but it is required to get easier now. Stay tuned for what could be a decent second essay.
Pakistan then again, will be extremely disappointed. They were cruising at one stage when their spinners ran through the South African top and center request. Mahmood with a three-fer, Nawaz also had two to his name and Qadir took one. At that moment it seemed South Africa would not even get to a 100 but they were taken to the cleaners by Miller becuase of who the game is no in the balance. also read Pakistan vs South Africa
WHAT A RECOVERY! From 7 down for 65, the visitors have gotten to a total which is more than competitive, 164 to be precise and there is just one man to thank and that is Miller. What a knock from him. Take a bow! This innings has been all about him. He has smoked the bowlers to all parks of the ground. Also, a little credit to Fortuin and Sipamla to hang in there with him but it was all about David Miller.
